Web Server, Installing

In Raspbian or any other Debian-based flavor of Linux, open a terminal and enter:

sudo apt-get install apache2

After prompting for your password, the Apache web server should be installed.

Place your HTML code in the default web directory /var/www, then open a browser of your choice. If you’re on the same machine as the server, the address is http://localhost/<yourFile>.html. If you’re reaching the machine over a network, then visit http://<Server_IP>/<yourFile>.html.
